How does play money keep gaming safe and balanced for Filipino players?
At play money, we believe entertainment should always stay fun. This page outlines the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to every player in the Philippines who wants to keep their gaming experience healthy and in control.
Our commitment to safe play in the Philippines
play money is designed for entertainment. We take our responsibility seriously and provide every Filipino player with the tools they need to stay in control.
Deposit & Spending Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limitsdirectly from your account settings on play money. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until the cooling-off period has passed. This gives you a reliable safety net so your entertainment spending stays within a budget you are comfortable with. Lowering a limit, however, takes effect right away — we always prioritise your protection over platform revenue. Filipino players are encouraged to review their limits regularly and adjust them whenever their personal circumstances change.
Session Time Reminders
Losing track of time is one of the most common ways gaming sessions become longer than intended. play money lets you set session duration reminders so you receive a clear notification when you have been playing for a set amount of time. You can choose intervals that suit your routine — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or any custom duration. When the reminder appears, you are free to continue or log out; the choice is always yours. We recommend Filipino players use this feature alongside deposit limits for the most balanced gaming experience.
Self-Exclusion & Cool-Off
If you feel you need a break from gaming, our self-exclusion tool lets you temporarily or permanently suspend your account with a single request to our support team. Cool-off periods range from 24 hours to several weeks, giving you the breathing room you need without permanently closing your account. A full self-exclusion option is also available for players who decide they no longer wish to participate in online gaming. During any exclusion period, you will not receive promotional communications from play money. We take these requests seriously and process them promptly — your wellbeing always comes first.
Underage Player Protection
play money strictly prohibits access by anyone under 21 years of age in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. All new accounts undergo identity verification to confirm that players meet the minimum age requirement before any real-money activity is permitted. We encourage parents and guardians in the Philippines to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has accessed an account, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We reserve the right to suspend and investigate any account where underage access is suspected, and we cooperate fully with regulatory authorities on such matters.
What are the warning signs of problem gambling?
Recognising the early signs is the first step toward getting back in control. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, we encourage you to reach out for support.
- Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back what was lost.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems.
- Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or social relationships in the Philippines because of time or money spent on gaming.
- Borrowing money, selling personal belongings, or taking out loans to fund gaming activity, or hiding gaming behaviour from family and friends.
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gaming without success, or feeling a loss of control over how much time or money is spent on the platform.
Where can Filipino players get help?
If you or someone close to you is experiencing any of the warning signs above, please do not hesitate to seek support. The National Council on Problem Gambling and similar organisations in the Philippines offer confidential counselling and guidance for individuals and families affected by problem gambling. You can also contact the play money support team directly at [email protected] to request a self-exclusion, a spending limit, or simply to talk through your options — our team is trained to handle these conversations with care and without judgement. Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and the sooner you reach out, the sooner you can regain a healthy balance. Additional resources and guidance are also available on our FAQ page.
